Adding another genuine reason NSW

[Jon79]

Wasn’t sure where to post this so if I’m the wrong spot can someone move it?
Just wondering if anyone has added another genuine reason (which didn’t require a new category) to their NSW firearms license recently and how long did it take.

I applied a while back to add another genuine reason to my license which didn’t need a new category so I assumed it would be fairly straight forward but nothing has moved since submitting it over a month ago

From my experience (a couple of years ago now), adding an additional genuine reason is 28 days holding period, plus processing time. So you're probably looking at another couple of weeks at least.

I thought the 28 day holding period was only if the new reason needed a new catergory? Either way well passed now

Real world experience, I sent an email on the 28th December asking for this and received an email with an attached letter confirming the addition of sports/target to my licence about 10 days later.

Took less than 10 days thou I would expect with the flood of applications times might have blown out

Looks like they've changed an interpretation, or I was put in the wrong queue... Glad to hear things are being processed more quickly now

[Fester]

Everything has changed after Bondi, and the FAR response is always like a go-slow, or just sit on everything for extraordinarily long times.

A few years back they were taking an average of 1 year, for new license applications to be processed.
Maybe so they give up and don't bother.

I had 3 genuine reasons and then heard about blokes just using state forest hunting as a reason, also not needing any range attendances for it.
I added that as well some time last year and it went through fine. Not sure how long it took as I didn't check until I put in a PTA straight after the shooting.
Got it through before they froze everything.

Aren't all PTA'S in the penal state of NSW been put on hold until all the final touches have been put on Minns's new guillotine use rules?
That's what I heard last on the news here on the shed radio, the local gaybc loves telling us about how on the front-foot NSW Labor is in keeping it's robots safe.

PTAs were paused for a couple of weeks, but applications can go in again. They're supposedly enforcing the numerical limits for new PTAs, but I can't confirm that

[Fester]

Funny how they enforce the new regulations that have not even gone through the parliament until they sit this month.
The details are about as clear as when Anal tried it on with the voice.

Mince said nothing, so it could be worse than we fear with the half-witted greenslime feeding him with their ideas.
That's why he wants rec hunting gone, as a genuine reason. The greens want no hunting or guns.

It backfired on them anyway with so many wives and kids getting licensed.

[Wapiti]

I wonder how long it will be before the self-appointed restrictioners twig to that and set out to fix the loophole.
Next shooting incident probably, if people don't have long memories at the next election.

I was gonna add target shooting myself, but was advised it'll take months & i'm better off adding it upon renewal. Because i plan to leave the country before then, i decided not to bother. It's elbow & greaseball minns with their anti-freedom & anti-fun agenda who are driving me out. Don't even get me started on those 2

It went through. We're just waiting for it to take effect & become law. It's still unclear what parts will actually become law beyond the gun limits. The bill essentially lets them do what they want when they want, but the bleeding hearts are challeging it in court due to the protest ban. If they win, then because it's an omnibus bill, we could see these new restrictions lifted as greaseball minns is forced back to the drawing board. These are the same people who got the courts to approve THAT harbour bridge march, & overturned another bill that restricted protests. Maybe they'll do us some good this time. Maybe it'll be hippies who save our guns. What a turn that would be

[Fester]

I think Sleasy Minns had to separate the bill and do the guns with no details first.
It was passed by the uniparty and greens.

Now they have to negotiate as the greenscum want just about every group amuned to hate speech laws apart from white Australian males who like girls. The como's also fully support the protest marches

It seems they sat today and not a single detail on the gun laws.
Just got the speed trap camera scam expanded to pull the revenue, and some hate speech stuff talked about.

The rush is no more, and I expect to know the details by about July, and what extras they come up with for the next attendance year.

[Flavius Maximus]

The protest ban was not taken out, & it's already being applied selectively. Elbow grease love omnibus bills, as they can hide whatever they want in there. Anyway, back on topic, it's best practice to either add your reasons in the first place, or do it upon renewal to prevent any issues

[Jon79]

Over 60 days now and still no movement since it was submitted, new legislation should not affect it as anything submitted before the 24/12/25 has to be reviewed under the previous legislation

[Ratsmitglied]

I don't remember how long it took for mine to get approved, but I think it was somewhere around 6-8 weeks, so it is probably worth giving them a quick call.

On another note, I had confirmation the other day that the numerical limits are being applied, and PTAs are being processed manually, hence why they are taking as so long

[Jon79]

Things are going very slowly at the registry don’t know how they are going to cope once licences are are only 2yrs…. Up to day 74 here getting another genuine reason added and it’s still sitting at submitted

Give them a call mate.

I suppose the influx of applications has startled them, and they have just had their rear ends enlarged over the reviewing of applications so I guess they're being extra cautious now.

Hope you get an answer soon mate.

I had my Genuine reason upgrade processed in under 10 days, are you sure you submitted it correctly ?

Yep it’s sitting there and listed as submitted in system, they said there has been an influx since the 15th December and they are working through them.

I’d say these would be all the new licence applications, if so all of these will be up for renewal at the same time in 2yrs as well
